Firefighting resources are already being pushed to their limits, but there are months left before the highest risks on desperately dry landscapes might begin to subside.

There is a YouTuber who does excellent coverage of the fires from multiple dimensions... He's looking at the fire situation, the fire fighting, forest management, climate and many other aspects. He gives a lot of insights about how the future of the fires might unfold.

A good phone app is called Watch Duty. This app gives you alerts and notifications and it has fire details on a map.

I've thought about it awhile and I have decided I am all in!
